Speaking to The New York Daily News, Milton Grimes says Tuiasosopo posed as Lennay Kekua on every phone call with Te'o, detailing the former's extensive vocal and dramatic training, as well as the fact that Tuiasosopo tried out last year for The Voice.

"Come on, Hollywood does it all the time," Grimes said to those who doubt a man could pull this off. "People can do that."

Grimes, who represented Rodney King when he won a multi-million dollar judgment against Los Angeles, also confirms Tuiasosopo ganked Facebook photos of high school classmate Diane O'Meara to use as Lenny - and never meant anyone any harm.
